Footprint Pinotage Rose 2019 75cl
★★★★½ 4.5 (2 reviews)Pour this and you get a glass of salmon-pink that smells like a punnet of strawberries. It's light, it's fruity, and it goes down far too easily on a warm Nairobi evening. Crack it cold when the plan is good company and zero fuss, and we'll have it at your door before the ice has even settled. This is your no-overthinking, everyone-likes-it bottle.
Strawberry and fresh raspberry lead the charge, with a soft little hint of Turkish delight in the background. It's light on its feet, the fruit is generous and juicy so it reads a touch sweet, but it finishes clean and dry rather than syrupy. Easy, bright, nothing to puzzle over. Just chilled pink that keeps you coming back for the next sip.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from African Pride Wines in South Africa's Western Cape, the crew behind the Footprint range. The name is the whole idea: the restless urge to explore and leave your own mark. Fittingly, it's made from Pinotage, South Africa's homegrown grape, a Cape original crossed there back in the 1920s. Most people know Pinotage as a bold red, so seeing it turned into a breezy pink rosé is a fun little twist on the country's signature variety.
